Import Tips
• Provide chemical composition and mechanical test certificates confirming high-strength per US Chapter 72 note (a)
• Confirm no 'further worked' treatments like polishing, coating, or cladding as defined in chapter notes
• Document width ≥600mm and cold-rolled state; common pitfall is incorrect thickness measurement
